Learn to ride

The Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition and COAST/SR2S have been collaborating with key community partners to offer successful bilingual Family Bike Events (Bici Familia) where riders of all ages have the opportunity to learn to ride a bicycle safely under the guidance of certified League Cycling Instructors. Parents are encouraged to attend, participate and volunteer. Loaner bikes and low-cost helmets are available for participants without gear.

The success of a family event requires a lot of volunteers (greeters, helpers to set-up & clean up, helmet fitters, bike mechanics, Spanish speakers, etc.). Please contact the SBBIKE Education Director if you are interested in volunteering for a family event.

Bici Familias are offered at several schools and community centers in Santa Barbara County throughout the year: check the SBBIKE calendar to find upcoming events.

TESTIMONIALS

"I love SBBIKE for everything they do especially at Adams Elementary School where many kids have never even ridden a bike before. The Family Bike Night/Bici Familia at Adams is always a hit. I have personally witnessed children literally learn to ride a bike at that event. Kudos to everything they do for our community!"
